Projects included in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) are large-scale improvements implemented over a period of several years. The City identifies capital improvement needs for the Traffic and Transportation Division and allocates funds toward public transportation infrastructure. Some examples of CIP projects include new sidewalk infrastructure, bridge rehabilitation and accessible pedestrian signal installation.

As part of Rockville’s Bridge Rehabilitation program, the Department of Public Works will be repairing bridges within City rights-of-way. Inspections of the 18 City-owned long span bridges (greater than 20-feet) are federally funded and are inspected every two years. This program meets the Mayor and Council’s goal for a sustainable infrastructure. The program repairs bridges prioritized based on structural improvements recommended in the bridge inspection reports.

Baltimore Road represents a major link for the east side of the City to Rockville Town Center. The primary goal of the project is to provide improved connectivity for multiple modes of transportation along this 2.3-mile corridor.

Pedestrian Safety

This project supports the Mayor and Council's vision priority of promoting multimodal transportation by working with neighborhoods to conduct feasibility analyses for new pedestrian initiatives and implement pedestrian traffic control devices. Speed Camera funding is used in this project to upgrade pedestrian ramps to meet ADA requirements throughout the City.

Sidewalks

Waddington Circle: West side between Cabin John Parkway and Dogwood Park - Design Phase

Falls Road: West side between Wootton Parkway and Kersey Lane - Design Phase

Avery Road: East side near the Blair G. Ewing Center - Under Construction

This project funds improvements/ rehabilitations to existing lighting systems where problems or safety issues have been identified. Funding is primarily for underground-wired lights. However, some funds are allocated to upgrade overhead streetlights owned and operated by Pepco (located on wooden utility poles) in the vicinity of schools, Metro stations and some residential areas where the illumination is poor. Adequate lighting is needed on public streets to enhance traffic and pedestrian safety and to help provide security. Speed camera funding will allow the City to upgrade more lights every fiscal year to improve public safety.

Traffic Controls: Citywide

This project funds the installation of traffic controls such as traffic signals, flashing beacons, speed sensor signs, and other signs and markings. Priorities are typically based on travel demand thresholds. This project funds new equipment for traffic signals citywide to replace obsolete equipment such as old controllers and conflict monitors.
